Downloading it at work and will give it a try then. I'm off tomorrow and Friday to work on our bathroom. I have budgeted some time to play but will have to work most of the day to get the bathroom finished.

And while most of us have either had trouble getting in or have been stuck at work all day (grumble), someone has already gone and finished the damn game.

He finished a playthrough on normal. That's hardly finishing when there are three other difficulty levels.

A speedrun of 12 hours on normal means I can probably expect to take twice that for a nice relaxed solo playthrough where I explore all the corners of everything. And then find a sympathetic GWJer or three who's content to play on Nightmare for a while.

I woke up at 5 CST and logged in with no problems. Only lost connection once. None of the stuttering that occurred in the beta. I started a female wizard and made it to the catacombs. Can't wait to get past where the beta ended and check out the new stuff. Have to watch out for the repetitive stress injury though. I could feel it coming on during the beta. *sigh* I was a Diablo player until I took a mouse to my wrist.

I managed to get in and play for about an hour last night before bed. Seemed to run perfectly lag free once I got in! Yay!

Is it me or did they get rid of town portals?!?

Anyone have issues with the voices? I'm using a set of headphones and i can hear everything great except when people talk it's really, really faint. I'm assuming it's something with the surround sound but i'm stumped.

Yeah, racing from point to point ignoring mobs and skipping story isn't really how I play.

To clarify, you get a stone instead of scrolls/book which has a minor cooldown so you can't spam it. All the convenience of TP from D2, but without the need to hit the magic vendor every trip back to town.
